[HamWAN PSDR] 2023 HamWAN season projects - INPUT NEEDED!

[Kenny Richards]

Baldi

   1. Replacement sectors / hardware to upgrade to dual band (I have all
   the hardware now)
   2. Replacement NetMetal / Dish to replace Beacon.Baldi PtP, if in fact
   it is needed to bring this link back online. (I have the netmetal and will
   work out the dish with Doug)
   3. ToDo: Re-IP the three sectors and move off the 44.24.240.x subnet (I
   will do this when configuring the sectors prior to installation)
      1. Depending on how many static IP / links have been set up on the
      sectors, I might need some help here.

ETiger

   1. Get approval again from Rich-KF7BJI to install the 60Ghz link
   hardware and HamWAN router in the Silke building
      1. Install 60Ghz radio/antenna on Silke tower (I am hoping it will
      fit on the same mount as the POV camera)
      2. Run new Cat5e cable (the cable run and mounts are already
      installed when I remounted the camera several years ago)
      3. Install the HamWAN router in the rack, create link to Silke router
      and move the POV camera over to HamWAN router
   2. Get approval again from PSRRG to install the other end of the 60Ghz
   link at the main site
      1. Will require installing the 60Ghz antenna/radio on tower (A spot
      was identified a couple years ago, hoping still available)
      2. Install cat5 mounts, since they didn't seem to be installed
      previously and run new cat5 into hut
      3. possibly shift around devices on R1.etiger to open up port for new
      radio

I am guessing doing #2 first makes more sense and then completing #1.
Probably the biggest challenge is lining up the approvals again (was
originally all done pre-Covid and pre-DNR mess). Besides getting the ETiger
camera back, the on other long term benefit is being able to add another
PtP to the Silke tower and/or another sector.(I am now leaning to another
PtP link if a target can be identified, like Buck?)

Buck - I completely forgot about this one in my original e-mail...

   1. biological interference maintenance / removal
   2. Move the now dead Gold.Buck PtP to point to another site and
   re-enable a second link into the site.
   3. Anything else Rob?


Thanks
Kenny
